"I think I can win this Augusta Masters"

The unknown has not been completely solved… but almost. "Right now I think I'm going to play," Tiger Woods replied Tuesday in the Augusta National press room asked about his participation in the Masters.

With less than 48 hours to go until the start of the tournament, it appears that the five-time champion's presence on Thursday on the tee of the 1st is guaranteed. Not only that, but the Tiger does not come for a walk: "Yes, I think I can win this Masters," he said convincedly. "I don't play a tournament if I don't think I can win it," he added, with his usual ambition.

I'm hitting the ball well, the problem is walking

Tiger Woods

Everyone who has been training these days with him has spoken wonders of his game, his club speed and his precision around the green. The doubts arise from another side: "I can hit the ball well, the difficult thing is to walk."

It has been just over a year since his very serious traffic accident and the recovery of his right leg has been his main concern. The Masters will put it to the test.
